ahandphd Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 In at BU!! so thrilled and relieved... was beginning to lose hope. That pesky MIT rejection that followed shortly after didn’t hurt a bit! Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
student90210 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I am kind of upset that I didn't get an email from Maryland, it was definitely my first choice for comparative/Eastern European politics. I see they are sending out acceptances... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhDhopeful2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Thanks, all! like many others, second application cycle's a charm, i guess. Hopefully some more **green** news will come shortly to offset the MIT massacre... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brkrgal85 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 As a heads-up, Columbia and Rice have both sent group emails regarding visitation weekend, so I assume that all admitted applicants to each program have already been notified. I am on the short list at Rice, as they have a ton of people apply for comparative. The director said I have a very good chance of getting final funding, but do not want to admit me without full funding since I said I would not go without full funding. However, I've already been accepted to other schools I prefer. I am glad to have another good letter on my list, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hashtag Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I emailed UMD and was told: They are in the process of making decisions. No news yet. Thank you for your patience. So I guess those who have not heard from UMD including myself still have hope... thank you! i still havent heard anything from any school... but the dream is still alive, right?! good luck to us all! student90210 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GopherGrad Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 MIT reject here. It was actually one of the places I thought I had the best shot, whereas my success was a see-if-it-sticks kinda school. There really is no telling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinnesotaWinter Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I seek a bit of advice from anyone that has applied to Minnesota. My status on the "Apply Yourself" system has changed from "Awaiting Program Decision" to "Final Review". Does anyone have any evidence / experience which might indicate whether this is a step towards acceptance or rejection? No idea, but mine is still "awaiting program decision"... Would be nice to let this MPLS resident know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GopherGrad Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 No idea, but mine is still "awaiting program decision"... Would be nice to let this MPLS resident know... One of my advisors mentioned that MN gives a boost to Midwest/Great Lakes applicants because they know the weather won't present an extra attrition risk in those cases. zzzzzz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polisciapplicant210 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Does anyone have concrete information on when the 'big four' Harvard, Stanford, Princeton and Yale will make a decision? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GopherGrad Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I will say, though, for anyone considering a MN admit: 1) Winters blow. Truly. 2) Minneapolis is maybe the best city in the country for grad student living. The cost of living is lower (far lower) than any major media market I can think of. But the arts and food scenes bat way above expectations for the size, and the economy is white collar, so there are a fair number of interesting, attractive 20 and 30 somethings meandering around.

I can confirm all of this. MPLS is cheap. The winters blow less and less as you suffer through more and more of them, though. Regarding the arts, the local music scene is pretty awesome and has plenty of cool venues, apparently we're #1 in theater seats per capita or some silly statistic, and there are also great [mostly free] museums in town.
